WTF show some originality with the music! it sounds as if soemone took the star wars score and modified it a bit. if the entire theme of the game's music is all going to sound liek a rip off of Star wars tracks then sory i cant be a part of this nonsense. cut and paste is not goign to get you customers. whatever, i am stunned and im not even gonna bother with this game at all. i mean we're not supposed to recognize the most popular movie music of sci fi ever? frikin tards

Wow I think Star Trek is lame as hell but that character customization is wicked.

Strange that this is only now showing up. Quite an old video.

Alkennjoi, I don't know what you're talking about. What exactly about the theme is so Star Wars? It's all Trek to me, although it's much faster and heavier on the percussion than usual.

Star Wars people usually aren't that big on thinking. All they really have the capacity to care about is laser guns and explosions.

I always wonder what people like Alkennjoi are like in real life. If you can get this upset by a 1:37 clip, I can only imagine what happens when something serious occurs in your life. Wow.

That's not Star Wars music, that's Star Trek music.
I think this is an old video. I saw it awhile back I think. Looks good.

Deewe, they didn't show any sliders. So what are you talking about? The character customization was pretty limitless when PE had it, so I can only imagine how huge it is now that Cryptic has taken over it.

Meh. WTF is the 'create a race thing' - How will hundreds of wack-job new races fit in to the Star Trek lore?
Or is this a lore free/we just raped the Star Trek IP for a selling point...kind of game?

Yet another game that gives oodles of character customization options that allow you to fine tune your character's appearance so your character will look EXACTLY how you want it! Only it WON'T because the bloody avatar is moving around all the place while in lighting that will never actually be seen in-game! Let's add a mini-game to character creation: "Punch the Alien" to knock it out so it freaking stands still! At least then there would be a reason for the rampant use of amnesia.

Not really that impressed by what I'm seeing here, I want to see more of the ingame content not just the character customization.
BTW I think alkennjoi is somewhat right; between 00:18 and 00:27, it does sound a bit like the Star Wars theme... on second thought I think they really screwed up the theme song. You can tell IT IS the original theme but they screwed up the melody.

To be honest some of you people expect ALOT from a video game, from what I can tell this game has as much if not MORE character customization options than the best MMO's on the market in that respect. Some people just love to bash and nay say, to you I say, glad you wont be in the game! :)

I really hope they don't half ass it, them showing their character creator isn't all that great. They have/had that with COX and now CO. Game play and immersion is where they need to shine. Something like ("Head to Vega VI and collect 10 samples of Vegosian Targ blood and return in to Dr. Keller at Starbase 16.")as a majority of the missions will make this Trekkie cry.

Apparently alkennjoi missed the whole 70s, 80s and 90s with the Star Trek franchise moving onto the big screen, then back into Next Generation and getting an orchestral theme that sounded very much like Star Wars, if by Star Wars you mean any music that doesn't primarily come out of an electric guitar.
Seriously, though, 1976 or so saw Star Trek the Motion Picture, a horridly stupid movie with the TV cast reuniting in mental institution bathwear to foil the evil plans of an old messed up satellite. However, the sound track by Jerry Goldsmith got a ton of awards, and featured the army of french horns theme music that has been the norm for the series ever since.

To us who were amazed by the original star trek (now looks cheezy but still awesome), the music predates star wars and it hasn't changed that much. Its part of the genre. I'm looking forward to the game.

Not impressed with the create your own race. Lame ear and forehead syndrome typical of Star Trek. I think ToR will own this game.

Oh and zerocyde, wrong about Star Wars and only caring about lazers and explosions. Funny too cause the new Star Trek movie seems to have a lot of both. Pot, kettle is calling for you and says your black.

How anyone can call that customization anything short of flawless is beyond me. That is SWG/Oblivion impressive and there is no higher praise than that.

This is why all MMORPGs fail one after another; because, people have such HIGH expectations. When the games actually are released early due to massive hype, they fall on their face because it wasn't ready for launch and then everyone runs away crying to momma. Lets try playing a game you know nothing about for once and see how it compares to one you think you know everything about before hand. I bet you will see a huge difference.

All this nit picking at details is ridiculous. You are looking to invest $50 - $60 on a video game, not a $300,000 house.

That's a weak cop with the options. All those races we seen through out various Star Trek series and they take the lazy devs way out?
I'm starting to hate that this company got its hands on this license.
No Ferengi, no Tellars, bah!
